If you want a full neck rug, make sure it's a combo and not detachable, and the show sheen on the inside does work - works on my Arab and Cob at any rate. Both their manes are well past their shoulders.
Arab tends not to need a neck rug on, she's such a hairy ****** come winter, but I did buy a snuggy hood outdoor weatherproof thing for her, and I swear, best thing I every bought.
I use it with a standard neck rug, and it stops her from getting all the winter rubbish stuck in it.
Word to the wise - coconut oil is all well and good, but it can make a lovely breeding ground for lice and mites ON your rugs.
Hasn't happened to me, as I don't use it, but did happen to someone on the same yard as me.
Horse was fine, but was always scratching when in that particular rug... Take the coconut oil away, poof, no more scratching as no more lice/mites
Not saying it will happen to all, but it did in this case.
It's also really cleggy, there are much lighter oils out there which protect the hair follicle as well as stopping rubs and broken ends.
Avon aragan oil is a good one
